TRIP TO KAT^\I. 



On February 10, the writer left Honolulu for a visit to Kauai returning 

 on Februar}^ 20. The visit was made for the purpose of selecting a new 

 site for the Kalaheo Nurserv. The old nursery which was located in the 

 bottom of a gulch was washed away during the recent storm. A site was 

 selected close to the homestead road which will be more convenient for 

 people who may want trees and also nearer the area on government lands 

 proposed to be planted in the future. The land around the old nursery 

 site in the Spring Reserve is all planted up, making it necessary to remove 

 the nursery to a more convenient place. 



A visit was also made to Grove Farm, where I met Mr. George Wilcox 

 who is as enthusiastic as ever in regard to tree planting. The scarcity of 

 labor of late, however, has been the means of curtailing the planting of 

 trees during the past year. Mr. Wilcox informed me that he was cutting 

 up the GreviUca rohusta growing around his place and selling the trees 

 for temporary bridges for the new railroad. The surplus iromvood he is 

 also selling for firewood at a good price.
